Steinkraft's commitment to sustainability:
As a pioneer in sustainable agriculture, Steinkraft understands sustainability not as a mere buzzword, but as a fundamental principle deeply rooted in the company's philosophy. Our goal is to effect positive change in agriculture by promoting sustainable, efficient, and environmentally friendly practices. This includes developing and promoting cultivation methods that improve soil health, reduce water consumption, and increase biodiversity.
We believe that sustainable agriculture should not only be in harmony with the environment, but also bring long-term economic benefits for farmers. These include higher yields, lower operating costs, and increased resilience to climate fluctuations. Steinkraft continuously works to develop innovative technologies and practices that are both environmentally friendly and economically sustainable.
The role of taxonomy capability at Steinkraft:
Adherence to the criteria for taxonomy suitability is a central component of Steinkraft's sustainability strategy. By applying innovative methods such as the Soil Balancing Method, we actively contribute to efficient and environmentally friendly soil management. This method focuses on optimizing the balance between different soil components to improve soil structure, increase water retention capacity, and optimize nutrient uptake by plants.
Our approach also includes the use of sustainable fertilizers specifically developed to improve soil quality without leaving harmful chemical residues. We place great importance on ensuring that our fertilization methods are not only effective in the short term but also sustainable in the long term. This means they contribute to maintaining soil fertility and reducing CO2 emissions.
Contribution to the future of agriculture
Overall, Steinkraft's commitment to taxonomy compliance goes beyond simply adhering to environmental standards. We see it as an opportunity to sustainably transform agriculture and make a positive contribution to environmental protection and the future viability of agriculture.

We place great importance on this because we firmly believe that the way we farm is crucial for the health of our planet and the well-being of future generations . Our dedication to sustainable practices and our efforts to meet taxonomy readiness criteria are a clear commitment to this goal. We are proud to be at the forefront of agriculture while supporting our farmers in making their farms future-proof and environmentally friendly. This is not only a matter of responsibility but also a sign of our deep connection to nature and our conviction that sustainable farming is the only way forward."

Taxonomy capability explained briefly and concisely:
Taxonomy capability refers to a company's ability to classify and evaluate its activities and products according to specific, predefined criteria of sustainability and environmental compatibility. These criteria are often part of regulatory frameworks or standards designed to steer economic activities toward ecological and social sustainability. In practice, taxonomy capability means that a company can transparently demonstrate how its processes and products contribute to achieving sustainability goals.
Why do we at Steinkraft concern ourselves with taxonomy capability?
There are several important reasons for Steinkraft to focus on taxonomy skills, which are both strategic and environmental:
- Positioning as a sustainable company: Taxonomy capability enables Steinkraft to clearly position itself as a company actively committed to sustainable practices. This is particularly important in the agricultural sector, where sustainability is increasingly becoming a decisive factor for consumers and business partners.
- Improving market appeal: Sustainability is an increasingly important factor in consumer decisions. By demonstrating its taxonomy capability, Steinkraft strengthens its appeal to environmentally conscious customers.
- Long-term resilience and competitiveness: A sustainable approach to corporate management ensures long-term resilience to environmental, social, and economic challenges. Taxonomy capability is a step towards guaranteeing this resilience and competitiveness.
- Responsibility towards the environment and society: As a company in the agricultural sector, Steinkraft bears a special responsibility for the environment and future food security. Adherence to taxonomy criteria underscores its commitment to environmentally friendly and socially responsible practices.
In short, Steinkraft's engagement with taxonomy capability is a crucial step in solidifying our role as a responsible, forward-thinking and environmentally friendly company, while also leveraging economic benefits.
PS: We would do everything anyway, even if it weren't recommended by the EU.
